World leaders delivered powerful responses to Donald Trump at the NATO summit as Donald Trump

scurried off and went on the old Air Force one instead of the Qatari Air Force One. World leaders let the entire world know what they actually feel about Donald Trump. We heard from the prime minister of Denmark. We heard from the prime minister of Spain. We heard from the president of Finland. We heard from the Prime Minister of Canada. And in addition to their words, they're speaking with actions as well, snubbing U.S. military defense contractors in favor of European and Canadian defense contractors.

NATO announcing a massive defense deal with Saab Bombardier for AWACs. You know how the U.S. has those E3 centuries, which were hit pretty hard by Iran that are made by Boeing. Well, NATO said, we're going to get our. 20 AWACs from the Saab Bombardier Alliance because that is far more reliable than the Trump regime. And we've been seeing a lot of deals where Canada, Europe, and Asia are buying from Canada, Europe, and Asia and not the United States, as Donald Trump has turned the United States of America into a very unreliable place for everything. It's also one of the reasons why Donald Trump desperately wants to.

get those F-35s to Turkey, even though there were prior sanctions that were placed on that because Turkey had previously procured Russian air defense system. Trump was the one who imposed the sanctions on Turkey. And Trump's like, what idiot would do that? You did during your first term. But the issue is, there's not a lot of people who want to buy the F-35s. I know Trump said, it's the best ever. It's the best ever. I think countries would rather buy Sweden's Gripens, for example, because Sweden is reliable. and they will work with your manufacturing base in order to help your employment while Donald Trump talks about kill switches

on the F-35s, and once you get the F-35, you then have to rely on the United States for maintenance and Donald Trump will just hold it over your head and blackmail you, the same way he has done with the Patriot Interceptors. And also, Trump will recklessly not abide by maliciously,

not abide by contracts with American defense contractors that are entered into with foreign countries and he will always do clauses that he can say, well, we're not going to give you the weapons. We're going to just divert your money for our own catastrophic and unlawful wars. Let me show you what's going down right now. As you have the Prime Minister of Denmark, listen to what Met Friedrichson had to say when she was asked by a reporter. An extraordinary premise that I even have to ask you this question, is Denmark ready for war with the United States?

Are you prepared to militarily respond if these are you? United States invades Greenland. Watch what she says. Let's play this clip. Denmark ready to militarily defend Greenland, an extraordinary premise, but is it ready to military defend Greenland if there is an attack from any party? We are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory. But one of the reasons why we have built NATO many, many years ago, is if anything happens to one of us, then everybody should stand up for each other. I mean, Article 5 is our insurance.

It goes for the eastern flank right now with the hybrid war coming in from Russia. It goes for US when they were attacked 9-11. And the same goes for Greenland, if anything happens in our direction. More from the Prime Minister of Denmark right here. Here's what she has to say, let's play it. But it's any party, whether it's a foe,

or whether it's an erstwhile friend, you will defend every... into Greenland? Of course we will defend the Kingdom of Denmark. She goes on to talk about how Greenland is not for sale. Let's play what she has to say. Yeah, I heard the US president yesterday, and I think the US position is unfortunately very clear on this topic, and our position is as clear as it has been all through. Greenland is, of course, not for sale. We hope that all, including all allies, will respect the Greenlandic people right for self-determination.

And we are a sovereign state, and we need everybody to respect our territorial integrity and our sovereignty. Then we heard from Prime Minister Carney, who met with Metta Freddickson. Here's what they had to say. Play this clip. I'll say for Canadian colleagues, we have no greater friend and tighter allies. than Denmark. This is an exhibition of we are both core members of NATO. We both have deep interests in the Arctic. We are both acting to protect those in the US and by doing so, protecting NATO. So we'll have more of that conversation.

Thank you, Mark. And it's really nice to be in a small corner of Canada, even though it's in now it's in Turkey. I can only underline what you just said. I mean, we have become even more closer in the recent years. Good allies, strong allies in NATO, strong allies when it comes to Ukraine, protecting our eastern flank in NATO. Now we heard from Finland's President Stubb. Here's what he had to say when he was asked, should allies express their solidarity with Denmark over these new threats, he goes, we do. Play this clip. Should allies express their solidarity with Denmark again over these new threats? I think we have always expressed our solidarity with Denmark.

And then I'll just tell you what Italian Prime Minister, Georgia, Maloney had to say because it's in Italian. And so I'll just, I'll translate it for you. She said, we said from the beginning that we would not participate in any attacks against Iran. And that has not changed. Let me be very clear. We are not participating in attacks against Iran, and we will not participate in attacks against Iran. Could I be any clearer here?

We also heard from the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez. Donald Trump has attacked Spain relentlessly throughout NATO, and he has ordered his Treasury Department to place an embargo on Spanish goods, and he has demanded that NATO kick out Spain. Notably, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the following. I had the opportunity to have an informal conversation with Trump. We talked about football, about the World Cup in the United States. It was an informal, casual conversation in which there was absolutely no tension whatsoever. On the contrary, there were only kind words and cordiality. The conversation took place after the press conference that was given by Trump. Before I started using Noble, I never really thought about how

vulnerable regular luggage is. Most suitcases use zippers and a simple pen can get into them without you even knowing. When you're trusting your bags with airlines, hotels, and baggage handlers, that's not a great feeling. That's why I become a big fan of Nobles' all-in-one carry-on. The first thing you'll notice is that there's no zipper at all. It uses a latch lock system that closes like a safe. You could actually hear and feel it lock. Beyond the security, it's packed with smart features I use every time I travel. A built-in charging port, a front laptop pocket that makes TSA so much easier. A flip-out cup holder that's surprisingly useful and smooth 360-degree wheels that make getting through the airport effortless. It even comes with

a lifetime warranty, so it is built to last. Noble gives you real travel peace of mind, security, design, and convenience all in one. Head to nobletravel.com for up to 46% off your entire order.

This is one of the things I always say about Donald Trump and why I think he's such a pathetic loser scumbag.

But I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. He's just a loser. Say it to my face. Say it to my face. And Georgian Maloney said that he doesn't say that to my face. And remember I did a video where former president Barack Obama on a podcast, he said, you know, look, all of these keyboard warriors today, you know, when you actually see them in front of you, they kind of back down. And Obama's like, I'm a face guy. You want to say it, say to my face.

And Obama goes, I sure as hell will tell you, Donald Trump doesn't say it to my face when he's in my president. And that's the thing. You're out there attacking a proud nation like Spain and their prime minister and their people. and then you're in front of their prime minister. So if you feel that way, air it out, air it out. You know, and I don't say this in any, you know, I don't mean, you know, you want to say you're a tough man, then man up. Donald, then go and say it to his face, you know, man up, say it to his face.

It doesn't have to be man up. You know, you're pathetic, you know. I mean, remember what Hillary Clinton said, woman up. Remember Hillary Clinton said, she said, look, you know, you will get run over by these authoritarian. He is weak. And it's not even weakness masquerading as strength. its weakness masquerading as weirdness.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Santrez goes on to say, Spain may be geographically far from Russia and the Eastern Front. We're also far from the Middle East. But we are very close to our allies, and we are close to the values and objectives that inspired the creation of both the European Union and NATO. We are a peaceful nation, a nation committed to peace, but we are also a reliable ally.

We fulfill our capability commitments. We fulfill our deployment commitments. We stand by Ukraine and we fulfill our responsibilities on NATO's eastern flank and in the Mediterranean. We also heard from Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Christensen in Ankara. Here's what he had to say play this clip. And finally, I just want to tell you that Ukraine is actually procuring the new generation of Gripen fighter, the E generation of it. We have signed a deal with 16 fighter jets. At the same time, we donate the same numbers of pre-owned fighter jets.

So we'll deliver altogether 32. More from Ulf Christensen as well. Let's play this clip right here. Sweden is part of the group of countries that have provided Ukraine with the most military products and equipment. And today we are totaling 128 billion Swedish Kroner since this horrific war begun. by Russia. When we support Ukraine, we also support Sweden and Europe. And to me and the Swedish government, no task is more important. Now, we also got news about this meeting that took place back in January. 30 European leaders met behind closed door, as West O'Donnell tells it,

in Brussels and late January. No phones were allowed, no aids, no cameras, just a five-hour conversation about one thing. How to manage a breakup with the United States. And then regarding Greenland, Macron, French President of Madam Macron said, we are drawing a line there. By that point, French troops were already in Greenland alongside Danish special forces, reportedly preparing for the possibility of shooting at U.S. troops and going to war with the United States. Trump, at this NATO summit, reiterated his desire for Greenland and to take it over and to steal its sovereignty. As West O'Donnell says, what the U.S. is doing is called strategic vandalism. And it's a disgrace to the U.S. allies all who bled for him during the World Wars, during

forever. Gondav has an interesting view of things. He talks about how, you know, Donald Trump was there, threatening NATO in Ankara again, taking over Greenland, attacking Canada. And Gandav says, here's what hasn't been noticed. I've watched broadcasts. from the NATO summit in Turkey, and nobody cares about Trump anymore. Nobody. They don't meet him. They barely speak to him.

He's like the drunk uncle at a wedding. The European and Canadians crack on, placing every single military order with European and Canadian industry. Billions upon billions in contracts that would go to the United States are now going to anywhere but the United States. Trump wanted Europe to pay for its own defenses.

Congratulations, we are to ourselves. Here's the thing. Nobody's laughing at you anymore. they're doing something far worse. They've stopped listening. The alliance you keep threatening to leave has already left you. Although you have the NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutei, who's out there. And he's like, Donald!

Donald, you're so good, Donald. Thank you, Donald. Keep saying that you hate NATO, Donald. That's how you make us stronger, Donald. Donald, you make us stronger by saying you hate NATO. And so a reporter from Denmark, this Danish reporter, says the following. here play this clip. Rasmus Renebore from the Danish news agency,

Dennis news agency Ritzam. Mark, you sit next to Donald Trump in moments where he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain, starting trade wars, things that it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rude would approve of. Does this have any effect on your self-respect

when you sit next to him like that and say nothing? You know, what I always do is, acknowledge when praise is Jew, and I think we should praise Donald Trump for the fact that NATO is so much stronger. Of course, it has to do with the Russian threat. It has to do with the war in Ukraine, but it's very much also has to do with President Trump delivering now. Since Eisenhower, the United States tried to achieve equalizing spending between the US and Europe. And it makes Europe stronger. It makes Europe more relevant for the United States as a partner. So that is the transformative character of this summit of what happened in the Hague,

the implementation since the Hague, this summit as a point in time where we take stock, and I think that's extremely important. And when it comes to Greenland, I already explained. We had the meeting in Davos. And I said, I agree with you, when it comes to Russia, when it comes to China, gaining access to the high north.

But let's do this together. We have NATO for this, let's work together on this. This is exactly what we are doing. You can see how awkward Donald Trump was, was as he was standing next to others who are there in NATO. This is Donald Trump attacking Spain. You can hear for yourself what he had to say. Let's play this clip. I spoke to, I didn't speak to Spain. Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like you to cut it out. Spain is a terrible partner

in NATO. They don't participate. They don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain for us, including visits. Okay, we don't want anything to do. Watch them, watch them come running back. Oh, he'll come running back. They treat this man terribly, and this man's a good man, too, great man. They're lucky they have them. But Spain doesn't agree to anything, and you shouldn't carry them. I mean, you sort of automatically carry it, because you're protecting an area, so they're there. So they probably figured they have to protect us, right? But we don't have to. We don't have to trade with them. I don't want to do any more trade with them. All right? Take it immediately. Don't even talk to them. They're hopeless.

Bad people because, you know, they have everybody else going and paying and working in Spain, in particular Spain. There are a couple of others, but in particular Spain, they're open about it. They're hostile about it. And let's see a hostile. They remain when they call up and they, Please, please, we want to trade with you, sir. We want to trade with you, sir. They make so much money with us, and we're going to see that they make a lot less. I want no business with them. I'll give you this other tidbit as well that I think is important to note.
